Atlantique Cafe offers French favorites

The Gyro and Greek Salad are already a lunchtime hit at Atlantique Cafe in downtown Delray Beach.

The grand opening of Atlantique Cafe reminds patrons of a French-style cafe. With its outdoor covered seating, walk-up salad window, bakery, back bar and large dining room, it's much more.

Owner Francis Toubol of the renowned La Cigale Restaurant has opened a new breakfast, lunch and bakery in the Atlantic Plaza at 777 E. Atlantic Ave.

Atlantique Cafe serves breakfast all day with menu items like the Atlantique Omelettes, Texas French Toast, Waffles and fresh breads. The breakfast menu ranges from $2.50 to $8.95.

Then at lunch, which is also served all-day, sandwiches like the French Dip, Gyro, Turkey Melt, Rachel or Reuben, which range from $6.25-$7.95 are on the menu. There also are salads and platters, like the Atlantique Cafe Spinach Salad with spinach, strawberries, blue cheese, red onions, walnuts, parmesan crusted chicken breast and raspberry dressing from $6-$9.95.

Free Wi-Fi is available and coffees, wines, full bar and pastries are available.

"Imagine walking in a french cafe, the pastries, smell of fresh breads and bottles of wine. Your sense of smell will be tickled and the cafe is visually appealing. I brought the sous chef over from La Cigale, the food is great. It's a 150 seats and truly a gem combination of French and American cuisine," Toubol said.

For more information call Atlantique Cafe at 561-272-1170.
